Chapter 704 Zhao Ji: Qiu Tu is sincere to everyone (Seeking monthly votes)

As the battlefield of the "God King Incident" a few days ago, Burial Dragon City suffered severe damage. As a disaster zone, it is now full of broken tiles and ruins.

The steel frame stretched out, and the buildings were riddled with holes.

The long convoy rolled across the dilapidated roads and arrived at the only relatively well-preserved manor in the city center.

This manor was originally the villa of a leader of an anti-government armed group, and it was confiscated after Zanglong City was liberated.

This "God King Incident" happened to not affect it, so it became the place where Zhao Ji and Qing Lan advanced.

The long, black convoy came to a stop, and the guards got out of their cars and scattered to guard the area.

After everything was settled, Shen Lingshuang got out of the car, ran to the back seat, and opened the car door.

As the car door opened, a foot wearing military boots stepped out and landed on the broken glass on the ground. With a tooth-grinding shattering sound, Qiu Tu, dressed in a black uniform, got out of the car.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the third floor of the manor, Zhao Ji and Qing Lan were watching the scene unfold before them.

Qinglan clicked her tongue twice, then said, "I must say, Qiu Tu's appearance is indeed quite good. Not only is he good-looking, but he also has an extraordinary demeanor. No wonder he can seduce so many women."

At this point, Qinglan seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Zhaoji beside her, and said, "Sister Zhaoji, you must be careful."

"I have a feeling that Qiu Tu, that scumbag, has been eyeing you for a long time. He's probably plotting something against you."

"Be careful not to let him deceive your feelings."

Perhaps because Qinglan's talent caught her eye, Zhaoji treated her quite well, which was unusual for her.

Upon hearing Qinglan's warning, Zhaoji's beautiful face remained cold and indifferent. She glanced down at Qinglan before saying, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qing Lan responded and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, Zhao Ji said coldly, "However, although he is a scumbag, he did not deceive people's feelings."

"His affection for everyone is genuine."

Qinglan: ? ? ?

For a moment, Qinglan almost thought she had misheard. She turned her head and saw Zhaoji looking completely shocked.

Zhao Ji was already extremely beautiful, and now that she has been promoted to a celestial being, she is even more breathtakingly beautiful.

She simply stood there, her tall and elegant figure like a proud and aloof iceberg, every line exuding a sense of coldness and nobility.

Every time Qinglan sees Zhaoji, she has the thought, "I want to be this beautiful in my next life."

However, upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qing Lan changed her mind: she felt that Zhao Ji's beauty was likely a result of her intelligence.

After all, Qiu Tu is such a scumbag, how could Zhao Ji still defend him?

While internally criticizing him, Qinglan tentatively asked, "How could he not be considered deceiving someone's feelings?"

"He started out with Tang Feifei. Later he met La Riluo, Lin Xi, and even you..."

"If he really liked you, he could have broken up with you and then pursued you."

"But he didn't. Instead, he chose to cheat. What is that if not deceiving someone's feelings?"

Upon hearing Qinglan's words, Zhaoji's eyelashes trembled slightly, like ice crystals gently swaying in the morning light.

She gave Qinglan a cold look and then said, "We can't deprive him of his right to like others just because he likes us."

"Besides... he doesn't just like us. He clearly likes everyone, which is why he cheated on us."

"If he falls in love with every woman he meets and forgets her immediately, then why would he cheat on her?"

"So, this is a paradox."

Hearing Zhao Ji's self-consistent words, Qing Lan was completely stunned.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

And what's more! She had a feeling these words shouldn't have come out of Zhao Ji's mouth. When did Zhao Ji become so out of her mind!

Sure enough, with this thought, Zhao Ji's lips curled up slightly, and then she suddenly added, "These are all things my sister told me."

Qinglan was stunned and almost didn't react, then quickly looked up at Zhaoji.

Then she saw Zhao Ji looking coldly at Qiu Tu, who was walking uphill, and then added lightly, "At that time, I was just as shocked as you were."

"So, I kept warning myself not to become like my sister."

"I hope this conversation will serve as a wake-up call for you."

After saying that, Zhao Ji turned around and walked downstairs, obviously preparing to greet Qiu Tu.

In a short while, only Qinglan remained on the rooftop.

Qinglan's mouth slowly opened wide and remained open for a long time.

She truly didn't expect Zhao Ji to pull such a reversal for her.

But now that I think about it, Zhao Ji was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't make sense of things.

In Qinglan's heart, Zhaoji has always been a strong woman, a female protagonist, independent of the world, so how could she be trapped by worldly affairs?

Zhao Ji must have seen through Qiu Tu's scumbag nature long ago, yet she wasn't bothered by him at all!

Thinking this, Qinglan suddenly felt as if she had found comrades-in-arms in the united front.

She turned around cutely, her exquisitely beautiful face beaming with smugness. 'Hmph! As expected, Sister Zhaoji and I are the most clear-headed people in the world!'

'And with Sister Zhaoji protecting me, I definitely won't fall into the hands of that scumbag Qiu Tu.'

'I want to learn from Sister Zhaoji and strive to become like her!'

Meanwhile, after admonishing Qinglan, Zhao Ji was strolling down the stairs.

As she walked, her mind slowly recalled what she had just said.

She used those words to remind Qinglan, but weren't they also a reminder to herself?

She used to look at Lariluo with the same clarity, detachment, and even disdain for Qinglan as she does now, as if she were looking at a fool.

She was also confident that she would never become like Larilu.

She has been doing this for the past two years.

As a result, when she was being promoted to a god, Zehime discovered many abnormalities during her self-reflection.

Her relationship with Qiu Tu seems to be getting closer and closer lately.

Moreover, in the last few days, things have become increasingly ambiguous.

The two not only began to have physical intimacy, but although Qiu Tu took the initiative the first time, Zhao Ji took the initiative the second time.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past, or even in my previous life.

But now it has all actually happened.

This made Zhao Ji wonder if she had fallen into Qiu Tu's "sex trap".

'I need to be careful. Otherwise, I'll never be able to reach that highest position.'

Just as Zhao Ji was thinking this, Qiu Tu's figure appeared at the top of the stairs.

The two people, one going down and the other going up, met each other.

Before Zhao Ji could finish reflecting on her actions, Qiu Tu saw her and immediately broke into a genuine smile.

He smiled and opened his arms to Zhao Ji, then exclaimed dramatically, "Sister Zhao Ji! I've missed you so much!"

"You have no idea how long those two days of your seclusion felt to me!"

Seeing Qiu Tu's exaggerated performance and listening to his half-hearted confession, Zhao Ji's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.

But she immediately realized what she meant, quickly suppressed her smile, and said coldly, "Glib talker."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Sister Zhao Ji, I'm telling you the truth."

"If you don't believe me—"

Qiu Tu drawled, "I can take off my shirt and let you see."

Zeki: ....

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Zhao Ji almost threw out her back.

Moreover, what might be just a casual flirtation to others was different for Zhao Ji.

After all... just a few days ago, Zhao Ji had taken off her top and was holding Qiu Tu while healed.

Moreover, Qiu Tu's senses were blocked, but Zhao Ji's were not.

Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help but recall that enchanting scene from that time.

For a moment, Zhao Ji's heart, which was as cold as an iceberg, was filled with a bit of shame and annoyance.

She secretly gritted her teeth, but her face showed no sign of distress. She simply glanced at Qiu Tu coldly and uttered a number, "Three."

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Ji's countdown, Qiu Tu immediately shut his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ji glanced at him indifferently, then strode towards the manor's main hall.

Qiu Tu followed closely behind, with Qing Lan at the very end.

Soon, the three of them sat down in the hall and started talking about business.

Qiu Tu briefly discussed what happened during their advancement process and gave a brief summary.

"We are now gradually eroding the three great divine kingdoms."

"The God-King has already fallen, so even if there are some stubborn forces, it will be difficult to stop us."

"It's all just a matter of time."

"The biggest problem is that the Western God King may not have completely perished."

“I had my suspicions before: since the Northern God King could retain his consciousness using our methods and then reincarnate to cultivate again.”

"Then other god-kings should be able to think of similar ways to save their lives."

"And all of this was confirmed just a few days ago."

Qiu Tu paused, his gaze turning serious. He said, "This intelligence was provided to me by Heavenly King Zhiyan."

"She and the Western God King..." Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then used a more neutral term, "They were old acquaintances."

"There is a way to communicate directly with the consciousness of the Western God King."

"As a result, after the Western God King fell, she tried to contact him and found that she could still reach him."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, before Zhao Ji could speak, Qing Lan couldn't help but ask, "Did she communicate with the Western God King?"

Qiu Tu shook his head.

He said, "No. Moreover... after she made contact the first time, she found that the Noble Phantasm had stopped working when she tried to contact it again."

Although Qinglan has been well taken care of by Qiu Tu during this period, she still has a lazy personality at heart.

When faced with a problem, the first thought is not to solve it, but to deny it.

So a hint of doubt immediately appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face, and she said, "So... there's no evidence?"

"Well...maybe he was just kidding."

Qiu Tu shook his head upon hearing this, "There has to be some benefit to lying, right? But she didn't."

After saying that, Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "So, I'm more inclined to believe it's true."

“Moreover…” Qiu Tu paused, “more importantly, it seems that some strange changes are taking place in the ‘Western Kingdom’.”

"A strange change?" A look of curiosity appeared on Qinglan's small face. Her eyes were like two clear springs, crystal clear yet full of life.

Qiu Tu nodded and then said, "Yes."

"General Li Feng and Speaker Lin Xi sensed some unusual cataclysmic fluctuations in the 'Western Kingdom.'"

"However, because our penetration into the 'Western Kingdom' is too low, and because there are currently undercurrents of unrest there, we don't yet know exactly where the problem lies."

Qiu Tu was unaware of the secret of the "Western Kingdom," but Zhao Ji was.
